When Gu Li and her group entered the private room, it was already full of people. Some of them were people they knew, such as He Wei, Saide, and Alfoseni. There were also a few people that Gu Li recognized, probably people she had met at the Federal University.
Upon seeing so many people, Gu Li looked directly at He Wei, whose expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Why are there so many people here?"
Before she set off today, she received a message from He Wei saying that she needed her help with something. Gu Li happened to want to go to the vicinity of the Federal University, so she agreed.
He Wei's expression was somewhat tense. She hadn't expected so many people to come, but knowing a little about the situation, she couldn't just leave them behind.
He Wei looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry."
Gu Li walked towards the seat reserved for her. Said and Alfoseni stood behind her, giving their seats to Cecil and Levi, leaving the university students present stunned.
He Wei looked at Gu Li. When they first met, the city was just a legend, and Gu Li saved her.
In just two years, she has climbed to a height she never dared to dream of: the leader of the Eleventh Army. Even if her father were here, he would have to sit next to Gu Li in such a position.
She glanced enviously at Saide and Alfoseni standing behind Gu Li, placed the specially ordered red wine and food in front of her, and then frowned as she got down to business.
"I shouldn't have come to you since you're so busy, but... but I think you all need to know about this."
Gu Li still had a good impression of He Wei. Unlike those nobles and the Children of Light who only knew how to enjoy themselves, she was a true warrior who had been helping on the front lines for the past two years.
It also has a very good reputation.
Gu Li couldn't imagine what she needed to ask of him.
Gu Li gave her a reassuring look: "We don't need to say such polite things. What happened?"
He Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the military planning to ask the Children of Light to go on missions today? I'm afraid that apart from some students from the Federal University, no Children of Light will agree."
Levi's pale green eyes flickered. They had only been out of the military headquarters for a short time, and someone had already started tampering with things.
No, it won't be that fast. They've probably been preparing for this for days and are waiting for them here.
Gu Li's pale fingers touched the pendant hanging from his waist. If those Children of Light wanted to continue to survive in the Federation, they couldn't completely refuse the military's summons.
They must have been held back by someone using some method.
This just shows that Bellamy is at a crucial moment right now, and someone doesn't want them to disturb him.
After He Wei finished speaking, she looked at Gu Li's expression and saw that she was not angry and even had a smile on her face. For some reason, her heart also calmed down.
As expected, Gu Li only pondered for a moment before his increasingly dazzling blue eyes swept around the room: "You've come here for something else today, haven't you?"
He Wei stood up amidst the anxious gazes of the others and gave Gu Li a military salute: "The seniors have all been sent out by the council under various pretexts. If the Federation has any missions, we are willing to go!"
The others, besides He Wei, also stood up. They looked somewhat uneasy. They were all students of the Federal University and had been on many missions because of their status as the Children of Light, so they had some basic intuition.
The situation between the Federation and its two neighboring countries has been tense recently, and this military action might...
They were all children of ordinary people, the lowest class even among the Children of Light. Putting aside any talk of patriotism, they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
"Please let us join!"
Gu Li put her legs down, feeling a little helpless under the intense gaze of so many eyes.
She had many questions to ask, and He Wei knew where her senior had gone because of her thoughtfulness.
But the military's movements could be leaked out so quickly, there must have been someone tipping her off.
Gu Li first looked at He Wei, who had a stubborn expression, and suddenly said, "Did Principal Ernst tell you?"
He Wei was taken aback at first, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but then she calmed down: "The principal only said that there was a shortage of people, the rest was just my guess!"
Levy pressed a button on the communication device.
Little Cotton enthusiastically commented: "As expected of the He family, they're just a bit too timid."
Tarot cards are the best in the world: They scheme against people while timidly apologizing. Pfft, no wonder they're from Boss He's family. How interesting.
Levi felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of He Shiyi building a building while whimpering.
Gu Li quickly sent a message to Celine of the First Army.
Gu Lili: If you can't find anyone, I can introduce a few people here.
He stood up decisively, his sky-blue eyes full of seriousness: "You should have guessed it by now. This mission is different from the past. It's no longer just about fighting against alien species. Our enemy is also human."
Her slender and upright figure moved through the crowd and towards the door: "This is a cruel war, and we are all just pawns in it. Its outcome is not subject to individual will."
"If you've thought it through, then follow along."
Gu Li glanced at Levi and Cecil, who were still frantically sending messages on the comms, and went out.
He Wei gritted her teeth and followed. There were a total of twenty Children of Light this time. They hesitated for a moment and then followed as well.
Even Gu Li, who is younger than them, dared to go to the battlefield and is now the leader of the Eleventh Army. They are just bottom-ranking members of the Children of Light who are not even worthy of mention.
Why don't you dare to take a chance!
The group boarded the spaceship and flew straight towards the designated location. He Wei looked at the increasingly remote scenery outside the window, lost in thought: "Are we going to that unfinished building area?"
"I've heard that people living in that area often go missing, but official investigations haven't been able to find anything wrong."
But today was different. As the spaceship approached, it could be seen that lights were faintly lit around the unfinished building, and when it got closer, it could also see the cordon tape.
Their ship was forced to land before reaching its destination.
A group of fully armed soldiers quickly arrived outside the window. They knocked on the window, showed their identification, and gestured for them to get out of the vehicle for inspection.
He Wei looked ahead with some concern. What had happened here? Would Gu Li have violated the rules by bringing them here so rashly?
To everyone's surprise, none of the people sitting in the front row made a move. Only Levi, who was piloting the spaceship, lowered the window and threw the insignia of the Eleventh Army to them.
His tone was also somewhat sarcastic: "I didn't expect the military headquarters' system to malfunction during the day, and they came to block our spaceship again at night. Do they have a problem with our 11th Army?"
After the meeting held here, the military was replaced by the third military. He also noticed a striking head of light blond hair inside the spaceship; he knew about what happened at the military headquarters today.
Their Third Army was naturally at odds with the Eleventh Army, so of course they had grievances. However, under Levy's nonchalant gaze, his calves inexplicably trembled.
They could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Excuse me, sir, I need to consult my superiors."
